Office 365 Email Signature Deployment: IT Admin Guide

Deploy WiseStamp email signatures on Office 365. The full IT admin path: prerequisites, Entra ID, Outlook Add-In, server-side routing, go-live and support.


Audience: IT managers and system administrators deploying WiseStamp email signature management on Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online.

Scope: Everything IT needs to plan, deploy, validate, and operate WiseStamp on M365. Not a marketing resource. No end-user signature design guidance except where it affects rollout.


How this documentation is organized

The portal follows the real deployment lifecycle: decide → check → connect → deploy → secure → sync → validate → operate → support. Read in order for a first deployment; use as reference thereafter.
